Tho Nation objects to tho phrase * watered * stook” as a migleading and question-bogging form of wotds, In England, whero stock-rais- ing of ono kind and anothor s boen carriad to a high dogreo of porfection, the phraso’ adopted to distinguish this sort of property: is ¢ Oalves 3" and it is a designation not without merit, A “radiway thus takés on tho slmilitada of s dairy! farm, from which & cortain amount of butter and chooso accrues snnually ; and where occa- slonally tho: cows produco offspring. Bofore, doing 80, lowovor, the cows dry up, and tho production of buttor and choeso coasos, whorons in tho caso of & railway about to ylold * calvgs, " tho production of butter and cheeso is obsoryod :| to ba on tho increase. Binca the Nation hias finally taken judicial no-- tico of tho roal point in tho controversy, wo ghall not quarrel about names. Threo or four wooka ago wo stated this point, as follows : The roal question in tho caso is whother rallway property is ontitied to share in tho growih and pros- perity of tho country to tho oxtont of doubling its nominal eapital whenover it may bo supposaed that tho wonlth of the conntry hins doubtad, or of increasing ft . 1n the ratio of such supposed inorease, . The right of the rallronds ta have *fcalves ™ | i sccordingly -naserted by tho Nation in thoso words: Tho truo question at {ssuebotweon the farmeors and . the railroads fa whethier tho latter have s right to ‘make Iarge profits, or aro bound to confino thomselves ' to the ordinary rate of intorcat, What ia meant when it ia sofd thot o company s “ earning dividonds on waterod stock,"1s simply that it has cut its atock up in such fashion that, Instead of paying 16 per cent on ono sharo, it pays T3¢ por cent ontwo, Thoro is nothing ob- Joctionablo in the division of the stock, Itlsz matter ‘which does not concern tho publle in tho least, The Teal point {n dispute hns nothing to do with the num- ber of shares, or the timo or maunc of, thelr fsaue, It concerns tho rato of profit sololy. Itis, in othor wards, Haéthero beon n maximum of proft fixed oither by law, or custom, or'morals, and are tho com- panios gojug beyond #£7 nnd tho farmers' movement in {his, its second stoge, Teata on the assumption that thore doos oxist such a paximun, ond that the com- panira hava gnne beyond ik, That this sssumption is ‘bascless noeds no argument to show, The Nation's statemont of tho casois cor~ root at last., But its conclusions from this stata- mont aronot. If tho right be conceded to rail- roads to issuo now stock, roprosenting no in- creaged jnvestmont, but simply for the purposs of paying T3 por conf on two sharcs fnetoad of 15 per cont on one share, thon'thoy have tho right to wator thelr stock, or drop tholr “calvos,” 80 88 to pay 7 per cont on seven shares of stook instend of 50 por cont on ono share, This la the | thing which the Nation says * doos not concern tho public in'the Joast.,” The fact that all tho railways which find themse]ves i a condition to pay 16 per cent on one share regort to the prac- fice of multiplying the share by two, and paying 73 por conb on tho product, shows that they think it does concorn the publio. It has boon universally held by tho courts that railronds aro common-oarriers, and it is & well- dofined principle of law that common-carrjera cannot chargo unreasonablo rates or mako un~ just disorlminations, These points woro elabo~ ratoly roviewed by the Suprems Court of Ilnois in tho woll-known case againat tho Ghicago & Alton Raliroad. Chiof-Justico Lawronce said that_railroad ‘corporptions which obtain their right of way through tho exercise of tho right of eminont domain (which can only bodelogated for public purposcs) * must bo rogarded as guasi publio corporations,. aud theroforo subject to logislative control, 80 far as mey bo nocossary for the publio wolfare.” - It was Lield, In this de- olsion, thnt the Legislaturo could ‘make a schedulp of rates only prima facle ovidenco, and that the reasonablenoss or unroasonabla- noss of rates must, if hrought in question, bo eatablishied by proof. What moro natural clo- mont of proof than the amount of ingerest earnod on the capital aotually invested? It it bo shown that tho rato of charges onablos o raile road to earp 744 por cont on au amount of utook equal to doublo the capital' invosted, is it Dot equivalont to showing thnt it _earns 16 por cent on the actusl copital? If 10 por conp 4 sn ex- coaa ovor a fair-roturn for tho eapital omployad, is not tho railrond viglating the law which prov hibits common-oarriors from oherging unreason- ablo rates ? Is not the watering of stock, thore- foro, prima fapie evidenco of a disposition to ovade the lay? “The Bupremo Court of the Unitod Statos Las gono oven further than the Bupremo Qourt of Liinois, It holds that railronds aro not meroly “ quasi public corporations,” but that thoy are publio highways, rendered such by tho exorcise of tho right of emiuont domain, whiok nowhero' Justiflos taking proporty for private use, Wo rofer tho Nation to the decision ronderod by the United States Buprome Court in tho case of Ol colt vs, Supervisors of Fonddu Lao County, Wis~ gonsin, Tho Court hold vhiat railrpads * in thoir vory pature are public highways,” The sythor- ity of tho Btato to Impose taxes for the Lonoflt' of rajlronds bias boep ropentedly affirmed and 1ib-! erally exerciapd, It .canngt bo that tho ‘railroada may cujoy sl the privileges of publio highways, Incinding tbo right of ominent domajn and tho bonefit of prblic taxation, and still bo fn no wiso subjoot to routilotiopy for the public bonofit. ‘T'he railroad cannot olaim to bo & publio corpora- tlon in ono condition of thinge, and » private corporation in anothor, .

Tho Nation lusigts that railroads Lavo tho Jgs | gol and moral right to make as much monoy ns thoy oau, 4. ¢., Lo lssuo flotitious stock and pay T3¢ por cont theraon, instond of paying 16 por cont or 60 por cont on tha capital actually In- vosted, It recoguizon no differonco botweon o rallrond and an artisan, or o tallor, or o Inwyor, or & nowspaper, or any other private porson or corporation, *'Tho fack that the Inw dves rocog- nizo a difforonco is comfortably ignored, or rathor flatly'dentod, by the Nation. Wo think wo have mado the . difforeuce. tolorably,clonr in tho light of tho common law and tho dealsions of the most eminont tribunals of this country,. Tho Inw doos not undortake to régulate the onrnings of tho_tallor, artisan, nowapapor, oto., bocauso they are private porsons, ontitled to nono of the boneflts of publio* corporations, : and bocause tholrbusinoss is regulated by compotition.

Why should thoy, otherwiso, double tholr eapital stock for tho purposs of poying 734 per cont, fnatead of paying 16 por cont on tha original ‘capltal?

COUNTY ELECTIONS IN ILLINOIS. ‘Wo print olsowhoro the official raturns of the oleations in 04 out of 103 countios in Tilinols, lenving ouly eight to bo Loard.from. Forly-, nino of these counties have been carried by the Tarmers', or Anti-Monopoly, tickots ; fitteon by the regular Republican organization ; and sevon- tooli by tho Domocrats, In thirteon ountios, including Cook, tha issue was foreign to' party. politica, Of the remaining oight countios not yot heard {rom, six havo Lerotofore beon Domo-, cratlo in politics and two Republican. The - Farmors, or snti-Monopolists, have 'opposod- both the ‘old parties in' the lato campaign. In this respect their victory has boon almost un- paralleled, They have carried forty-nino coun-" tlos agninst the organization of the Democratio or thoRopubliean party,—whichovor happoned to bo tho stronger in the partioular county of con- test,—whilo tho Ropublican and Domoorntio par- tion togothor have ouly carried thirty-six comn- ties. A yoar ngo, overy county In tho State was in tho posscssion of one or tho othor of tho old parties. To-day thoy cannot togothor claim moro than forly out of. 102. When it is romembored that - this is tho first compaign ever made by the Anti-Monopo-. lists a8 a distinct party, and that their organiza~ tlon has boon hotorogencous and irregular, tho dehiovomont is ono that may well make tho old- lino politiciaus quake. . Tho result is an indica- tion of & genoral wiping out of old parly linosin Jllinois, as well as in Wisconsin and Towa. ¥ J Though this remarkablo succoss has boon achioved undor the name of * Farmora® and- * Anti-Monopolists,” it means somothing moro than a determined and wide-sproad movement against tho monopoly abuses of the railroads. It fs likewiso a protest ngainst party monopoly’ and party abuses on all sides, Tho Farmors' Movement in Iilinois owos its cohosivenoss not moro to railrond nbuecs than to tho snlary-grab, and tho tlousaud-and-one familiar instances of fraud practicod’ by both the Ropublican and Demopratio partios of Iato yonrs. Tho' Farmers' - Movement in Illinois, like tho Roform party in Wisconsin, thio Anti~ Monopoly party in’ Tows, and the Indepondent party in California, means a new political party, designed to snatoh the scoptre of power from tho rotion political organizations that have con- spiouously botrayed their trust. At tho first cloction in this Btato sinco its appoarance in the fiold, it has oarried forty-ning counties whoro tho othor parties havo carried thirty-to, Noxt year tho fssuo will be moro important to tho Anti-Monopolists, becauso mombers of the Stato Legislatyro and mombors of the National Con- gross 810 to bo ologted, and the strongth of tho now party, whicl is at onco Auti-Monopoly, An- ti-Oorruption, Roform, and Independent, will bo doveloped in proportion. It is well that Ilinois. has taken hor placo in the front.

As long ogo as 1800, this neoeg. sity was found to bo 8o great that the Loglsla- ture took aglon to protoot the publio against fraud.

It showed also that tho Btato Rogwtrar oxoreisod a Iatituda of conatruction whiok, in tho bands of a loss soru- pulous fanctionary, would bo uttorly subversive of tho law, and destructive of the intorests it wee intonded to protéot, So far aa tho Hough cano 1s concornod, it apponra that that flrm now have o surplus of grain over and abovo tho amount of ‘their rocolpts: outstanding, and that Mr. Olary, .tho Rogiatrar, has loarned . valuble loseon.

THE CAPTURED VIRGINIUS. The capturo of the steamor Virginius off the cost of Jamalcz, and tho summary oxecution of four of her passongers at the hands of the Spane ish authoritics-at Santiago do Cuba, must inevi- tably involve the United Btates and Spain in discnssion of very grave International quostions.

Tho New York Evening Post auggosts that tho Financial Committeon of Congross should be re- organized, and hat thoy should collect tho writings of Prof. Bowon, Prof, Porry, Mr. Amass.

Tho convorsion of tho existing bonded dobt into terminablo annuities depends as much upon the willingness of the bondbolder a8 upon tho dis- position of Congress. It is undoubtedly true that & portion of the public debt conld be turned into such annuitios, How much of it can bo &0 absorbed can only be ascertained by experimont. To whatover oxtent tho piiblio are willing to ex- chango their bonas for forminablo sunuities, it would probably be for the advantago of the Gov- ornment to afford thom tho opportunity. But, instoad of unifying " the public dabt, it would add enothor to tho ninotéen dlfforont forms which tho Post now complains of.
